Snore, Snoring and How Weight can affect Your Sleep.

Snoring can be vastly exacerbated by obesity. Fat deposits in the area of
the throat restrict the airway, put increased pressure on the airway, and
are virtually guaranteed to cause some snoring. Obesity is one of the
most common, correctable causes of snoring.

As your body gains more and more weight, fat deposits develop not only
in the throat but eventually in the nasal cavity as well. These obstructions
cause snoring to become more of a problem.

Obesity is becoming a buzzword in this country and is often blamed for
many different problems in the human body, but the problem with obesity
and snoring is the vicious cycle it creates.

Obesity is dangerous for your health—even life-threatening. The heavier
you are, the louder you'll snore. The problem is—and this is the vicious
cycle—obesity increases your snoring, and snoring makes it more difficult
for you to sleep peacefully and deeply. Lack of sleep—not spending
enough time in REM and deep sleep patterns—is associated with an
increase in weight. Basically, once the pattern of weight-related snoring
begins, it can actually continue to make itself worse.

Losing weight is an absolute necessity to break this vicious cycle.

What Causes Snoring?

The sound of snoring is created when the soft tissues of the back of the throat—in the airway—vibrate because of a narrowed or blocked passageway. During sleep, you are in a more relaxed state. Every time you inhale, the air you breathe flows in through your mouth or nose and across the soft palate (the fleshy part of the inside of your mouth between the hard ridge and the back of your throat). This soft palate area, including your uvula, is capable of collapsing during sleep. It is from here that the breathing passageway becomes blocked or narrowed enough to disturb the air you’re breathing and cause the vibrations. When the soft palate collapses and narrows the airway, your body works harder to draw in breath. As the uvula and soft palate are vibrated against the back of the throat, the snoring sound is made. If you still have your tonsils and/or adenoids, those, too can vibrate and add to the sound. The stronger the vibrations are, the louder the snore. Snoring only occurs during sleep, because when you are awake, the muscles of your throat hold the soft tissues in place. It's only when you sleep that these muscles relax enough to allow the tissue to collapse and cause the obstruction.

What is Snoring?

Snoring can vary from person to person and can sound like everything
from a rumbling to a rasp to a jet engine taking off.

Some people are completely unaware of the fact that they snore, and it is
not until they are sharing a room with a partner or spouse (or sharing a
hotel room on a business trip) that they discover how loudly they snore.

Needless to say, if your snoring is loud enough to interrupt someone else's
sleep, it's worth trying to resolve the problem.

For a long time, snoring was considered harmless; today we know that
snoring can be a sign of upper respiratory resistance syndrome and
obstructive sleep apnea, both of which can be extremely dangerous.

Snoring is more common in men than in women; almost half of all men
snore while only about one-third of women do. Regardless of your
gender, however, snoring can be more than just a nuisance in your life
and can lead to or be a symptom of several other health complications.

Do You Need A Snoring Remedy?

Do you keep your spouse or roommate up at night with the noise you
make while sleeping? Do you wake up in the morning not feeling
completely rested? Does this happen to you more than a couple of times
a week?
Everyone snores occasionally, but if you're a habitual snorer when you
sleep, you may actually have a real snoring problem. Snoring is a
significant problem that can not only affect you, your health, and your
ability to concentrate; but it can also affect the people who sleep in the
same room—and sometimes in the same house—as you do.
This book will explore what snoring is, what causes snoring, and the
various ways to improve snoring. The book will help you determine
whether or not your snoring problem is a result of sleep apnea or another
serious medically-related snoring condition, as well as common risks
